The amazing Lumion Essential Training

Launch Lemon 11, explore nine seed environments and example projects, run hardware benchmarks, and learn load and save workflows to start creating with Lumion.

Master the Lumion interface, manage layers and objects, edit materials and landscapes, control weather, and render photos, movies, or 360 panoramas with practical settings.

Learn to navigate Lumion with keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls to move, pan, tilt, and orbit around scenes. Master camera reset, teleports, and object orbiting to speed up your workflow.

Prepare 3d files for Lumion by applying placeholder materials, ensure correct uv mapping, use Lumion library assets, and export to FBX before import, aligning ground and origin.

Move the 3DS Max project to the origin, convert vra materials to standard with a free plugin, export to SBX with embedded media, and import into Lumion for placement.

Export Revit models as fbx files and import them into Lumion, applying material placeholders in realistic view, then place and name the import for future landscaping and material edits.

Export SketchUp files for import into Lumion, apply material placeholders, replace trees with Linnean trees, save as a new file, and import and place the model in a Lumion scene.

Explore Lumion materials with the material library to apply indoor and outdoor textures with displacement, then save changes to apply them across linked models in your villa project.

Explore how to customize Libyan materials in Lumion, adjusting color maps, normal maps, and displacement maps with sliders for colorization, reflectivity, and weathering.

Explore grass and fur materials in Lumion, adjusting color maps, normal maps, gravity, bending, size, length, color map rotation. Experiment with curly bending and roughness for realistic gardens and carpets.

Apply water material to pools, adjust depth, and fine-tune wave height, caustics, border displacement, and color density to create realistic blue water scenes.

Explore indoor and outdoor glass materials, from pure glass panels to patterns and raindrops or streaks, and adjust colorization, IGB color, reflectivity, transparency, glossiness, and weather effects.

Explore the leaves material in Lumion, selecting from nine leaf types, and adjust spread, leaf size, type, and spread pattern offset to cover objects with realistic leaf coverings.

Learn to apply billboard materials in Lumion, a 2d plane that always faces the camera, to add realism to people and trees.

Explore adding new material color to your scene by selecting the ground element, using the color picker and beaker to choose tone, and adjusting darkness and flicker reduction.

Select the glass material and adjust reflectivity, transparency, and texture influence to create realistic glass. Apply an alpha-channel texture to the diffuse color, tune double sided, glossiness, and brightness.

Explore the advanced glass material in lumion, offering colorized glass with internal reflections, transparency controls, and double-sided options. Frostiness, relief, and rain streak effects enhance photo and movie moods.

Learn how to use the invisible material to hide canopy elements in Lumion, control visibility without rendering shadows, and restore them by toggling back to the imported model material.

Explore the new landscape material, painting grass, rocks, sand, and other textures across hills, with four material slots, presets, and 3d grass features that add realistic landscaping while managing performance.

Learn to use the light map material in the Lumion essential training to make objects glow with color map and light map textures, adjust emission, and render night scenes.

Learn how to convert imported 3ds Max materials to Lumion standard materials, apply diffuse color, normal maps, bump, and adjust gloss, reflectivity, and maps for realistic rendering.

Learn how to use physically based rendering (pbr) materials in Lumion, applying diffuse, normal, and displacement maps for realistic textures using Polygon textures.

Create water material from scratch, use presets and sliders, then adjust wave height, border displacement, reflections, glow, and color density to simulate orange juice.

Learn to create and apply an animated waterfall material to a plane, tweak wave scale and foam, adjust visibility from all angles, and render a decorative waterfall.

Copy, save, and load materials in Lumion’s material library to reuse cobblestone, GERB, and waterfall materials across scenes, manage custom materials, and preserve color maps.

Save your finished materials to a custom material library with unique names for use in current and future scenes, and fix missing maps by locating color maps manually.

Apply materials to every object in the scene using Lumiere Library or custom PBR textures, follow a time-lapse workflow, and join the materials challenge with a final render.

Fix problems along your workflow by switching between modeling programs and Lumion, redesigning elevations, and refining materials for walls, floors, and ceilings. Export to SBX and render a short animation.

Create and sculpt villa surroundings using landscape tools like raise, lower, flatten, jitter, and smooth, import height maps, paint grass, and shape water and ocean features with color presets.

Control weather in Lumion essential training by selecting cloud types, adjusting cloudiness, real skies HDR AI, and tuning sun height, direction, and wind to affect lighting and shadows.

Learn to import and organize content library models, create categories such as exterior decorations and villas, mark favorites, and manage imported assets across projects.

Explore the Lumion content library and the single placement tool to add nature objects like trees, leaves, and grass, then use shortcuts to adjust size, height, and rotation.

Explore the content library mass placement tool to quickly populate scenes with trees and flowers along adjustable lines. Control item count, rotation, spacing, offset, and landscape alignment while preserving settings.

Master the content library cluster placement tool in Lumion essential training to place 10 copies per click, with random rotation and size for rocks and trees.

Explore Lumion's content library paint placement tool to efficiently paint trees and landscape objects with adjustable density, random rotation, and erasing, using single, mass, cluster, and pin placements.

Explore the content library categories to select and manipulate objects—from nature scenes to people, animals, furniture, and lights—drag, rotate, and adjust positions.

Select objects by category in the content library (imported models, nature, transport) and move them with four icons—move freely, move up, move horizontal, and type in coordinates.

Learn to select and rotate objects in Lumion essential training. Use the rotate tool with X, Y, and Z axes, align to model surfaces, and manage multi-selection and snapping.

Learn to place, select, move, rotate, scale, and delete objects in the lumion content library by using pivot points, the scale slider, the l shortcut, and delete actions.

Master selection, locking, grouping, and layer management in Lumion by creating, editing, saving, and loading groups, moving groups via pivot points, and hiding layers for organized scenes.
